Le Frère André for Kostitsyn

Joshua Wawa, Cakes and Koko have got to be the three cringiest monikers ever posted in here. Hockey fan nicknames are generally laughable and hideous but these 3 are on top of the crap heap in my opinion.

Always liked the simplicity of Lolzner aka Markov's most reliable partner

Also have to remember his two other nicknames; Pickle Jar and Snow Angel

 

[JHabs]

The Magician = Kovalev

 

[Banjo Cat]

The Magician = Kovalev

Also AK27

 

[JohnTheBaptist]

The Magician = Kovalev

Kovalev = L'artiste

 

[the paisanos guy]

Andrei KosTITSyn = big tits
Sergei KosTITSyn = lil tits

 

[Banjo Cat]

This was not an actual nickname used among hab fans but my brother always referred to Kotkaniemi as "Kooky Kenny". Actually he still calls him that. And he kinda looks like a Kooky Kenny.

And the image that first launched the pickle reference:

 

[Banjo Cat]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but wasn't Hal Gill "Skills"?

 

[Runner77]

About Alzner and the Snow Angel moniker, he put it on full display in this one game against Ottawa from October, 2018, when he lay on his back to prevent a goal and did this:

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Slowbustsky

I used to call Hal Gill the Beached Whale for the way he'd flop around on the PK.

Armia is Hands of Stone

Alzner was Tits on a Bull

Galchenyuk was Daddy Issues

 

[waitin425]

Over the years of creeping around here, I've noticed so many funny nicknames you guys give your players

Pacioretty = patio ready
Subban = soupcan
Bergevin = bargain bin
Danault = dunno

Are there any others I'm missing? Keep being great and best of luck in the Bedard draft, I'm rooting for you.

(Only ones that we had that can match up were Taylor Fall and Ryan Nothing-Happens)

What about nicknames for other teams players?

The new one that I prefer for Marner....

The Sherminator

 

[beowulf]

I am sure someone brought up Breeze-by for Brisebois so apt a name.

Can't believe the chemistry and hoof grinding meme were not posted yet.
